Agriculture & Forestry covers the study of farming and environmental sciences, such as soil analysis and estate management. It’s an increasingly modernised area of study, with climate change being at the forefront of public debate.

The agriculture industry and its success is vital for the wellbeing of people all over the world – specifically those in poverty-stricken areas. If your dream is to help alleviate world hunger, then a degree in this sector is a great start.

Without individuals working in Agriculture & Forestry, preventing the environment from falling out of shape would be a struggle.

Whether you’re interested in the scientific side, or the active and practical, there's something to suit many different types of learners. The industry needs it all, from logical statistics interpreters to people physically planting crops or taking measurements in a field.

The amount of specialisations postgraduates can choose is substantial. From coastal change to natural resource economics, the list is diverse and fascinating.

Your career can go down a multitude of different routes, from business management, farming journalism, data analysing, agricultural sales and marketing, environmental conservation, public recreation and social research.

Always check with your chosen institution what the requirements are, as entry standards can vary and change. Some universities may ask for one or more science subject studied at A Level (or equivalent).
